Hey Guys, sorry this is a day late! I've been posting every second day, however I had a marathon day yesterday and didn't have time to sit down and finish this post up for you! But better late than never eh?​

A couple days before New Years Eve I realized I only needed to spend $40 at Sephora (before the end of the year) to be bumped up to the VIB rewards program. So I, obviously, went to Sephora and found a couple of things to buy.

I ended up buying the 'Too Faced' Beautifully Blushed and Bronzed Setand the 'Benefit' POREfessional Face Primer. I'm extremely happy with both products and so so excited to be at the next level. I think the Sephora rewards program is nice because it's free and you will get an annual birthday gift (they've been awesome every year so far). However you have to save up a lot of points to be able to 'buy' any good products with your points, if you're patient it will pay off because points never expire and some of the points products are amazing. And the next level doesn't offer much to write home about, but I'm excited regardless.

I realize this is technically from 2 weeks ago, buuuut I'm about to use the 'Welcome to VIB' 10% off coupon on a 'Too Faced' La Crème Color Drenched Lipstick so I think it's relevant to this week! I hope everyone is having an awesome January!

This weekend my sister and I went out to take pictures in the snow. I'm obsessed with the outfit I wore and really wanted to share it with you guys. We didn't actually go out to day OOTD pictures, so these aren't the best outfit pictures. On that note: 10 points if you can you spot the half top I bought on Boxing Day!

Something I love about this particular outfit is the three different necklaces detail. I've mixed gold with silver and am extremely happy with the result!! Props to my sister who encouraged me to try this, I'm so happy I did because I think it looks so cool and a little bit edgy.

Holding that snow was super cold, but totally worth it for the next picture.

Shop this look:Jacket (army print is last season buy this season here) // Bra // Tank Top (mine is from Roots about a million years ago, buy similar here) // Jeans (I bought mine from a secondhand store and ripped the holes myself, buy pre-made here)Top Necklace // Middle Necklace // Bottom Necklace​

​I think this outfit is perfect for shopping because you can easily warm it up with a big scarf, gloves and maybe some earmuffs. But your base outfit is really light so you won't get overheated in a crowded shopping mall! I actually wore something very similar to this on Boxing Day and was pretty much the perfect temperature all day, my sister wore her parka and was extremely hot our entire trip.

I always wear the same perfume: Daisy by Marc Jacobs, I think it's perfect for me; fresh and sophisticated. However I am obsessed with perfume and always buy new ones. A couple of weeks ago I bought the Selena Gomez scent (Murale has a section where the sell older perfumes for a discounted price). Honestly I wasn't sure I'd like it because celebrity perfumes aren't usually the greatest, buuut I love Selena Gomez so I thought I'd give it a try!

The perfume has a really girly smell, very sweet. I love the smell, though I'll be honest it's a tad stronger than I would like. If you have friends who get headaches from strong smells I wouldn't wear this around them. But I really do like the way it smells, it makes me feel really feminine. I wore this to a ballet class and a ton of people asked me what scent I was wearing. I know this perfume came out a couple of years ago, but no one I knew had any idea this existed! If you're looking for a new scent I would recommend giving this one a try!

This New Years was probably the best one I've had since becoming an adult. My sister and I got dressed up and went to a fancy restaurant, then came home and drank champagne in our pyjamas! It was so fun and I'm happy we were able to have a fun/low key night!

Here is a documentation of our night! We had a lot of time to get ready so I curled my hair and then pinned it up to set (I felt like I was in the 50's).

I think 2016 will be amazing and I'm so excited to experience another year!

I've always been interested in skincare, but when I hit puberty I would go into Walmart and choose the face wash that dried out my skin the most (#teenlife). I don't think drugstore skincare is bad, but sometimes it just doesn't cut it yah know? This year I realized how awful I was treating my skin and decided it was time to make a change. My skin has been looking really good lately so I thought I would make a favourite skin care of 2015 post!

Clean & Clear deep cleaning astringent: I've been using this since I was in High School (this is the only good skin related product I used in my adolescence) This won't clear up the large/under your skin pimples, however it completely gets rid of small bumps and unevenness.

Adapalene/Benzoyl Peroxide: As I mentioned above my skin has been a wreck this year, it was getting progressively worse with painful under the skin pimples. I was so sick and tired of being embarrassed by my skin so I finally went to my doctor and she prescribed me with this topical cream and it's done wonders for my skin. If anyone is struggling with acne I would seriously recommend this product.

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream: I received a sample in a Topbox fairly early this year and it's changed my life. I put this on before bed and when I wake up my skin is moisturized and healthy looking. It's a really thick formula, which is kind of annoying to sleep on (especially if you toss and turn as much as I do) but it works so I won't complain too much.

Clinique 'take the day off' cleansing balm: This is a really new product, but it's made it on the list because it's made such an impact on my skin; with a pea sized amount of product it completely removes all of my face/eye make-up. This feels a lot like coconut oil in your hands, but it doesn't feel as greasy on your face, it's a really smooth product to use on your face.

Clinique moisture surge: Again this is a really new product but I am so in love with it! It has a thick formula, but goes on fairly thin and gets absorbed instantly. I'm planning on doing a full review of my new Clinique skin care products after my skin has had time to adjust to them, so expect that in a month or so!

I hope you enjoyed this post, I always like seeing what other people use on their skin. Again I don't think drugstore brands are bad, but I have extremely sensitive skin so a lot of times I have to use high end products, my wallet and I are jealous of anyone who can use drugstore products on the daily!

New Years Eve is a magical time where sparkles and glamour are widely accepted. The glorious, glitzy day is tomorrow, so here's a couple items you don't want to forget before you leave the house!

The first thing you need to bring is a bag. Duh? Maybe for some; a couple years ago I tried to go to a New Years party without a bag and it was a fail. I had things falling everywhere! This year I'm using my favourite 'going out' bag, it was a gift for my last birthday and I adore it. (Buy the current version here or a more affordable version here and here.)

The other first thing you should be packing is your money and your ID (not pictured for obvious reasons). NYE isn't cheap and you don't want to be without your money when the bill comes, or without your ID when the champagne comes!

Another extremely important thing to have is your phone, for all the cute pictures obviously! But also for emergency situations, you'll want your phone if you get separated from your group. I'm a firm believer in better safe than sorry.

Lotion!! It's a dry Calgary Winter right now, so if you forget your hand cream you will regret it. I double and triple check that I have some good lotion with me every time I leave the house. NYE is no exception!

After you apply your lotion you'll probably want to reapply your perfume, so I've included a small rollerball. (This is what I'll be wearing NYE, it's a light, girly scent and perfect for a glitzy night like this.)

The last essential on this list is makeup touchups! I have here mascara and lipstick, because thats what I usually need to touchup. But your bag could include any and all kinds of makeup/personal hygiene products!! (Tampons? Hand Sanitizer?)

There you have it! A list of all the things I think you'll need on New Years Eve. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I'll talk to you in the New Year! (It's feels so weird to say that, it gets me every year.)

As promised, here is my, slightly ridiculous, Boxing Day haul!! Every year I go Boxing Day shopping with my Dad and my sister. Really we hitch a ride with our dad and will let him go to his stores while Ash and I hit all the girly stores. Then we'll meet up, grab something to eat and travel to our next stop.

1. Matches

2. Free People bralette

3. Kate Spade Wallet

4. Leggings

5. Free People top

6. Clinique box set

​​These matches are absolutely beautiful, they were the only thing I bought that wasn't on sale, however they were only $6 and I have so many candles, I thought they were worth it. It was a classic waiting in line purchase. Final Price: $6.

I love Free People, anytime I look through racks at Nordstrom I will always unknowingly pull out the Free People clothes. The brand is pretty expensive so when I walked into the Free People people store and saw they had an extra 30% off of sale items I was pumped. I've wanted a bralette from FP since they launched their movement collection, I'm so excited that I finally got one!! Original price: $66. Reduced price: $29. Final Price: $20.3.

The Bay had 50% off of all boxed accessories. This included any wallets in boxes, when I found this Kate Spade wallet and had to buy it. Original Price: $118. Final Price: $59.

I actually bought these Anthropologie leggings in 2 colours, white and the green. I put the white on when I got home from shopping and haven't taken them off. (I took all these pictures while wearing them.) They're amazing and probably worth the original price tag, but Anthros extra 25% off sale items is what made me buy both pairs. Original Price: $45.Reduced Price: $19.Final Price: $14.25.

I was looking through the Free People sale racks and saw this beautiful shirt, I told myself if it was $20 or less I would let myself buy it; thankfully it fit the bill. Original Price: $41.Reduced Price: $19.Final Price: $13.30.

The final item I bought was a Clinique box set from Sephora that was made specifically for Boxing Day. I've been wanting to try Clinique facial products since a I tried free sample a spot treatment a couple months ago. I figured this cheap box set was the perfect opportunity! Final Price: $15.​

​There's still a ton of amazing sales going on, so I've linked as many as I could find here:

​Okay, that is everything!! I didn't go too in-depth about the actual products because I have a ton of stuff to say and this post would've ended up being 12 pages! I'm planning on doing longer reviews for them in the New Year so leave me a comment on things you want to hear more about! Happy shopping and make sure to tell me what kind of boxing day deals you guys got!
